nobuta wo produce is missing. seriously if i had to pick only one drama to watch it would be nobuta wo produce.
I don't consider nobuta wo produce to be a romance drama, it is a very good drama and I definitely recommend it but not as a romance drama, as its very minimal. For me is more a slice of life or high school drama.
this was kind of frustrating for me because, honestly with thos highschool flashbacks they were trying to mislead you, but it was pretty obvious she was going to end with Tokura and I didn't have any problem because I love Fujiki Naohito, but then those high school flashbacks were sooo cute and appeared everywhere that at the end I wanted her to choose Sakurai!! They definitely made this a very complicated drama and choice for the viewers and then they go and end it with an open ending!!! :(
I actually started to think that I would have been great if this was a time traveling drama, kind of "Orange" where we could see the highschool story develop and have a second chance in getting together at highschool!
Hats off for Suzuki Ryohei is only because I watched the credits that I knew it was him, because what an amazing transformation he did for playing Takeo, definitely excellent acting, he made the character come to live!!
I think that if one has watched the anime and/or read the manga watching this movie is kind of exasperating, because at first I was very pleased of all the cuteness and all that but after I realized I have already watched 1 hour of the movie and the main couple weren't together I kind of got mad and didn't get the poitn of dragging it until the end, while they had so much story to cover after they get together!!!
the high school flashbacks were seriously cute, reminded me of Love Letter
I agree with you, I'd love if someday they make a drama about their highschool story but with them clearing their confussion and finally confessing in high school :)
Not a complaint, but it kills me to see Love Shuffle listed as a "classic". Not because I didn't…
Due to one of the moderators of this page suggesting on the comments of "Best of Japan 2016" that if we were not happy about the results to write more articles about jdramas, so people watch them more instead of only watching 1 or 2 as it seemed due to those results I decided to write this article and if I can I would like to write more about jdramas in the future. But I do agree with you that it would have been better to name this "Romance Jdramas of the 2000's" so we don't feel old, because I started watching dramas since 2007 so I also sometimes feel old :(
